I think that I would perhaps describe myself as a sensualist. Musicromanceloveaffectionsextastyfoodcomfyfurniture. Those are things I like.

I spend a very large part of my free time collecting and listening to popular, rock, jazz and other music from the forties (well, some from before then, too) through the nineties and then a bit of the present day. I don't know what my life would be and have been without for my love of music. It powerfully effects and connects to my senses.

...I am an ethical veg, even though I am too lazy to be all-vegan all on my lonesome. But I'd never ever eat a bird(or cow or human). And I think being vegan is good...And I can certainly stick with vegan if there's a good vegan cook present (...mmYou?).

...Newswise I frankly don't want to hear about most of what happens as it usually just roils me and I actually prefer to try to enjoy life a bit in spite of how bad it may be in some respects, but I do identify as very left.

My sense of humor is in the direction of Woody Allen, South Park, the Simpsons, MST3K, Monty Python.

It is not PC, and is sometimes ascerbic or dark.

I walk ten miles a day and love tennis, But I'm equally good with chilling at home (And ever the more so with good company)

"I want to walk in the open wind...I want to talk like lovers do...Want to dive into your ocean...Is it raining with you?"

...I think that's very beautiful.

These are a few of Julie Andrews' Favorite things (OK--actually my favorite things, not Julie's):

Romance

Affection

Cuddling

Birds, especially Penguins(I don't eat birds!!!)

Taking walks together

Eating tasty veg food (basta pasta but also indian,chinese,mexican,middle-eastern are among favorite cuisines)(and chocolate, of course)

Tennis

Playing Scrabble with the objective of making as many funny words as possible (or as many obscene words as possible for the more-skilled sensual player)

Making fun of movies and TV MST3K-style

Dogs (cats are OK, too)

Really being in love with someone who feels mutually

Betty Boop (you need not look like her)

Listening to music (singing sometimes--probably badly-- if by myself)

(rock and jazz--A LOT of different artists and genres)

Seeking:

Sweet...knows how to love...

Affectionate...knows how to touch...

Someone who likes sharing time with me and vice versa. Maybe that sounds too simple, but it seems so essential...If being together is so very unimportant one cannot find the time than what indeed is the point of the relationship...

I would like someone to dance with (No, I don't know anything about dancing and No, you wouldn't need to know anything about it either:)...

I want to think I am otherwise open-minded about the potential different attributes of a partner for myself--love can make many differences seem inconsequential--but it is difficult for me to imagine someone for me who is not warm, sensuous, loving...

A partner who I effect positively and vice versa...

We want to be with one another--to share things both through communication as well as by sharing existence itself--because that togetherness makes those things better. Our togetherness makes us each less alone in the face of the existential loneliness that we all experience...

...Dammit, I want someone to shoot at the walls of heartache with! (because heart to heart you'll win;)
